Tons of it. And they hold the national title meet in ft. Worth as well.
it still blows my mind there isnt a D1 gymanstics school in texas.
I can’t wait to read the statement they put out trying to explain why they deserve a spot.
Bama should have dropped for losing. Maybe not all the way out, but if your going to drop BYU for getting wrecked then you have to do that to Bama.

Meh. If lashing out at OU fans is how you cope with the realization Bama is just the next Nebraska, then so be it.
Except it won’t be Hawkins vs. Arch.
found the guy downvoting every comment about OU in this thread
I think that is spot on for Venables. He better hope he has not just a good year, but a great one. Because with a new athletic Director coming in, I could easily see them wanting to bring in their own person for the most high profile job on campus.
I saw on Twitter, where a scout saw Willits practicing with OU last year & thought he was the best player on the field. I’m not sure what that says about OU’s squad last year, but I’m happy to see our coaches son be successful.
Man what an 8th inning for OU..getting out of a bases loaded no outs jam, then an insurance shot. Now it’s 9-5 OU over UNC as we head into the top of the 9th.
Also, glad there are some folks here who follow and talk about the championship. I’ve followed it the past several years, but no big 12 forum exists like this to chat about it with others.

I just read that BYU played their “3rd” round on Thursday because they don’t play on sundays. Funky. I can’t seem to find that score anywhere, but after today’s bad round it may not matter.

You can’t win on in day one, but you can lose it. I feel good about my Sooners; we bought us some wiggle room to help us make the top 8.

I looked this up once, and it actually has to do with the fact that those roads were tolls before the interstate system existed. When they created it, they overlayed some highways on the existing toll roads & allowed them to continue to be tolls. Below is an AI explanation that goes into a bit more detail.

- - -

When the Interstate Highway System was created in 1956 under President Eisenhower’s Federal-Aid Highway Act, the idea was to build a network of free, high-speed highways across the U.S. But many toll roads already existed — especially in the Northeast, Midwest, and parts of the South.

Rather than tearing up or bypassing these roads, the government decided:

Already-existing toll roads could be incorporated into the new Interstate System.

This allowed states to avoid duplicating infrastructure, and the tolls were permitted to remain. These roads had often been built in the 1940s or early 1950s, before the federal program existed, and were funded by state bonds and tolls — not federal dollars.
Football - 80%
If Michigan can win one in this era then so can we. We are one of 20 teams that will win it any given year. Just need the chips to line up in our favor coaching wise.

Basketball - 15%
made two final fours in my lifetime, 6 overall. We will go on another run, but will we win it?

Baseball - 20%
We almost won it two years ago with a 2 seed level roster. im confident we can go on another run or two before I die.
I don’t know why we don’t we pitch cam Johnson anymore. Is he hurt? He has to be better than what we’ve been rolling out in game 2 on weekends.

…how do you forget he is their coach? Outside of gundy he’s probably the most recognizable coach on campus. Been there a decade plus with a WS appearance.
